Who is the most "boring" fighter out of Wladimir Klitschko, Mayweather + Andre Ward?

[BOXEO _]

Floyd

Klitschko

then Ward

[Kuyukut]

klitschko and ward knock their opponents to smitherens while fraud jr runs and hugs his opponents more than his paid lovers.

fact is fraud jr's the most boring athelete of all time not only in the sport of boxing but all of sports.

[New England]

I voted Ward, every single fight is an exact replica of the previous.

Jab, jab, jab
Paw, jab
Jab, jab
*slips right hand, brings head back up like a battering ram and headbutts opponent*
*proceeds to spend the next minute wrestle-****ing*

Rinse, wash, repeat.

i don't think you watch andre ward fight. certainly you aren't partial when you do it.

ward's head hasn't been a significant factor in a fight since kessler.

[New England]

the answer is obviously wladimir klitschko.

second is probably andre ward.

floyd's got a very aesthetic style of boxing / counterpunching.

[Mr.Fantastic]

Floyd takes the cake.

[Johnwoo8686]

I think Floyd is clearly the best fighter out of those three and the beauty of his style makes him more entertaining to watch. The reason why most people call him boring is because most people watch his fights to see him lose. When they don't get what they want and instead get a 12 round, sometimes lopsided, decision they call it boring.

His fights aren't boring, they are just disappointing to the people who doled out money to see the man lose.

He's hardly fought since then lol
Tbf its not even just Ward his opponents are to blame just as much. I mean take the Paul Smith fight it was a clinic but after 3 rounds it got tedious as hell Smith parrying jabs with his forehead and not throwing a damn thing in return, same with Rodriguez.


I have the same problem with Wladimir fights it just gets tedious. Both guys are to blame them for not putting anything behind the jab, the opponents for not trying to take the jab away or counter it. Against these guys which are massively out of their depth, levels below they have no excuse not to try put on a show.

KO Ratios:

Ward: 54%
Mayweather: 54%
Klitschko: 79%

Wlad pros: Career of huge knockouts, suspense for a KO
Wlad cons: Suspense nowadays consists of tons of clinching... Povetkin strategy was inexcusable

Floyd pros: Used to be more intense when he was younger, handspeed
Floyd cons: Is practically never the aggressor, uses speed to pot shot for points, never feels like a "fight", just a sports event

Ward pros: I honestly can't think of anything... He's pretty dang boring
Ward cons: Only ups the ante in easy bouts, clings to opponents and rubs his forehead all over them when things get tough

Most boring right now: Old Floyd, used to be more exciting

Most boring over span of career: Ward... Boring looking dude with a boring style boring highlight reel boring personality... Looks like Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh... or maybe Ben Stein

Most boring single performance: Wlad using his size to lay on Povetkin

[Weebler I]

Mayweather or Klitschko, but I have to admit it's fascinating watching opponents chase Floyd around the ring and how he gets away from them and then to see what happens sometimes when he doesn't.

You really watch not to see him "box", but to see if someone can corner him and put it on him e.g. Cotto/Maidana. If they're no good at cornering him, e.g. Guerrero, then it becomes frightfully boring, as bad as anything from Klitschko.

Really you're watching for the other guy, not Klit or Floyd.

I don't find Ward as boring as most, because he's usually always working. He's not running, and he's usually not holding just to hold although clinch after clinch does get tiresome. Definitely not an exciting fighter that's for sure.

[Tom Cruise]

I'd put Ward's clinching in the same catagory as Ricky Hattons. Scrappy as ****, but still interesting because they are trying to work.

A lot of the time its opponents who are looking to lock down completely on the inside but Ward/Hatton wont let them.

Hattons fights were obviously made slightly more exciting because of his tendency to block punches with his forehead and never stop coming forward.
